“Perhaps the oldest cliché in all of sports is that defense wins championships. On Friday, Nov. 11, Mission Bay gave another example of why that saying exists as the Bucs punched their ticket to the CIF Div. III semi-finals with a gritty 14-0 shutout victory over El Capitan Vaqueros.

It will take a group effort in our secondary to slow those guys down and contain their passing attack.”
